The Nuveen ESG Small-Cap ETF (NUSC) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track an index of U.S. small-capitalization equities. Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the component securities of its underlying benchmark, which is composed of equity securities issued by small-cap companies listed on U.S. exchanges. The fund is structured as a small-blend ETF, providing diversified exposure across the U.S. small-cap segment of the equity market.
The funds distinguishing feature is its ESG screening methodology: component securities must satisfy specified environmental, social, and governance criteria, meaning issuers are evaluated and filtered based on sustainability and corporate responsibility metrics before inclusion. Launched in December 2016, NUSC operates under a passive index-tracking business model, common to ETFs, which generally results in lower expense ratios compared to actively managed funds and allows investors to buy and sell shares on an exchange throughout the trading day.
